Oh hey we skipped a year but let's see if anyone's got the Christmas spirit to exchange drawings with each other.

How does this work?

In this event, you'll be submitting a form where you describe what you'd like your secret Santa to draw for you as well as any extra details. Once the registration period ends, I'll run the names of all the participants through a scrambler then I'll send a private message to everyone of their recipient and what they have to draw. You will have until the midnight of December 25th to finish your artwork.

Please fill out your application using this form:

In-Game Name:
Discord Username and ID#:
Description:

Explanation:
Your in-game name is the name of your SK character.
Discord will be the main hub of where I will be contacting participants for news and updates. Feel free to join the public SK servers such as the Arcade or the Snipe Garden to keep up with the news. Joining these servers are not required!
Description should have as much detail into what you want as you can. Reference pictures are highly recommended! You can host your images on imgur for the reference pictures. You don't have to worry about making an account, just upload them.
*If you don't remember your login information to access the forums, DM me your application form on discord and I will post it for you*

Registration closes on Monday, November 30th, at 11:59PM MST (Mountain Standard Time).

RULES:

  1. Exchanges must be followed through by January 1st, at which point a participant will need to explain why they have failed to complete their end of the exchange. Failure to do so will result in repercussions such as disqualification from future events, should they be hosted.
  2. Due to popular demand, we will be restricting the art exchange to involve ONLY SPIRAL KNIGHTS CONTENT. Please make sure to adjust your request and description accordingly!

Feel free to ask any questions that you may have down below!

Description: Any of these costumes would be neat! Though, I have a special preference for DarkV2 with either indigo personal color or lake personal color as pictured. I don't have a strong preference on pose, and if you feel like drawing in a Warmaster Rocket Hammer as pictured in DarkV2, that would be lovely but not required.

Description: Using this costume to create a scenario either in Candlestick Keep or Scarlet Fortress. Could it be that this knight's making and/or performing a ritual (A dark one)? Exploring and upkeeping books so that Dust Bunnies don't form within the wrong part of Clockworks? Guiding ghostly creatures and knights alike through the depths? Possibilities aren't just limited to these choice of scenarios.

    so you felt it wouldn't be fair to whoever drew your name

    It's the effort that counts!

    @Rang-Yi Honestly that's completely fine, you can be a complete noob at drawing but what matters at the end is the effort you put into the drawing!

    While I'm at it, lemme just implement a new feature to the event by adding in a helper system:

    ARTIST HELPERS
    If you need help with your drawings on how to improve it, contact any artist helpers to get pointers and advice on your artwork through Discord DMs. Make sure the helper you're contacting is NOT the same person as your recipient (that'll spoil the whole secret thing).

    Description: Two choices.
    A) Date with the knights of me and you, as romantic or as friendly as you want it. Can be any perspective but I'd like to be able to see both knights clearly enough. At least one candle.
    B) Lord Vanaduke trying his best to learn how to dance from a small knight, both wearing a tutu. Make it pink. And at least 80% fire retardant. Don't laugh at him.

    Backgrounds are optional, details are optional, intent is important.

    Description: I'll link three of my costumes below, along with a little description of the "character" I gave to each of them. Though I guess it's more like their personalities or their deal, or something. Choose whichever and do with that what you will.

    1. https://sta.sh/01uvcslt9r20 - Electric Set - Fiery and hotheaded. Loud and confident.
    2. https://sta.sh/0bakrjmt5v9 - Diamond Set - Ice Queen. Cold and regal.
    3. https://sta.sh/012ts3xtdbpv -Nefarious Set - A mysterious, otherworldly creature that has taken a more comprehensible form to mortal eyes.

    Will update these references when possible. These costumes aren't completed in-game so I have to use SpiralSpy references instead.
